The Demko Knives Shark-Cub Stealth Folding Knife delivers compact performance, innovative engineering, and a discreet blacked-out design in a lightweight package built for everyday carry. Combining premium CPM 20CV stainless steel with a durable OD green G-10 handle, this Shark-Cub brings dependable functionality and distinctive Demko innovation to a streamlined folding knife. Part of the Shark-Cub Stealth series, it features a black DLC blade and matching hardware for a subdued appearance that complements its practical design.
The 2.7-inch Shark Foot blade is crafted from CPM 20CV stainless steel, a premium steel valued for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. Its DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) finish adds another layer of performance by increasing surface hardness and abrasion resistance while reducing friction. Unlike conventional coatings, DLC bonds to the steel at the molecular level, creating an exceptionally durable finish designed to withstand demanding everyday use. The Shark Foot blade profile offers a distinctive shape with a broad, functional cutting edge suited to a variety of routine cutting tasks. At approximately 0.09 inches thick, the blade maintains a compact profile that complements the knife's lightweight construction.
The OD green G-10 handle provides a secure, comfortable grip with textured surfaces that help resist slipping during use. Known for its strength, durability, and resistance to moisture, G-10 is a practical choice for a knife intended to see regular pocket carry. Its military-inspired green color pairs with the black blade and hardware, giving the Shark-Cub Stealth a tactical aesthetic without adding unnecessary bulk. Measuring 4.1 inches closed and 6.8 inches overall when open, this compact folder weighs just 2.9 ounces, making it easy to carry without weighing down your pocket.
At the heart of this knife is Demko's innovative Shark-Lock mechanism. Positioned along the spine, the lock is operated using a ramp-like fin that provides an intuitive point of contact for engaging and disengaging the mechanism. When the blade opens, a spring-driven locking arm moves into a notch in the blade tang beneath a lock pin. Its distinctive forward-and-backward as well as upward-and-downward movement allows for a larger blade tang and improved mechanical advantage. The spring is also housed within the locking arm, helping protect it from dirt and grime.
Manufactured in Taiwan, the Demko Shark-Cub Stealth combines premium materials, a distinctive locking system, and a low-profile design in a capable everyday carry package.
